About Compyl

Compyl is a high-growth, venture-backed GRC and automated security compliance platform built by security practitioners for security practitioners. Founded in 2020 by two former Chief Information Security Officers, we exist to solve a problem both founders lived firsthand: the painful, fragmented, and largely manual state of enterprise security governance.

Our cloud-native platform replaces spreadsheets, point tools, and consulting engagements that security teams have relied on, delivering a single, all-in-one GRC solution that automates evidence collection, control mapping, audit preparation, and continuous monitoring.

We're backed by Venture Guides, Contour Venture Partners, and Armory Square Ventures, and we're building toward a global team by the end of 2027\.

About The Role

We're hiring a Head of Product to own Compyl's product vision, strategy, and execution end-to-end, including direct ownership of our agentic AI layer.

We're building AI capabilities that move beyond evidence collection and risk dashboards toward autonomous remediation and multi-step workflow orchestration. Whoever steps into this role will have real, lasting ownership over how AI is built across the product. This is not a bolt-on feature, it's a foundational shift in how Compyl delivers value, and no competitor has fully unlocked it yet.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You'll set direction, but you'll also stay close to customers, roadmap tradeoffs, delivery timelines, and outcomes. Success means translating real customer pain into clear priorities, shipping high-quality product consistently, and raising the bar for how product decisions are made across the company.

What You'll Do

Own Product Strategy \& Vision

• Define and evolve Compyl's long-term product vision and roadmap, aligned to the company strategy, customer needs, and market opportunity
• Translate high-level strategy into clear, prioritized initiatives with measurable outcomes
• Balance near-term execution with long-term platform thinking

Lead Compyl's Agentic AI Layer

• Own the strategy, sequencing, and execution of Compyl's AI layer, from initial agentic workflows to full autonomous remediation.
• Define how AI agents interact with the core GRC platform, integrations, and customer environments in a defensible, auditable way.
• Partner with Engineering to establish the architecture and data foundations that make multi-step AI orchestration possible at scale.
• Set the bar for what "practitioner-grade AI" means in GRC, ensuring every AI-driven action is explainable and trustworthy.

Lead Product Execution

• Own roadmap planning, prioritization, and delivery in close partnership with Engineering.
• Work closely with Sales and Marketing to support positioning, packaging, pricing, and go-to-market readiness.
• Ensure product initiatives are scoped clearly, sequenced effectively, and delivered with quality.
• Establish strong product discovery and validation practices before committing engineering resources.
• Stay deeply connected to customers, prospects, and the field, especially enterprise security and GRC leaders

Build \& Scale the Product Organization

• Lead and develop Product Managers and Product Designers; define clear roles, expectations, and career paths.
• Establish product rituals, operating cadence, and decision-making frameworks that scale with the company.
• Raise the bar for product thinking, communication, and accountability across the org.

What We're Looking For

• 10\+ years of product management experience, including senior leadership roles building enterprise SaaS platforms.
• Demonstrated experience driving product strategy in risk, compliance, security, governance, or adjacent regulated domains.
• Proven track record translating regulatory frameworks and customer obligations into scalable, policy-driven product capabilities.
• Experience with AI/ML product development, ideally agentic systems, LLM-powered workflows, or autonomous process automation in a B2B context.
• Experience owning and evolving a complex, multi-tenant platform with a strong point of view on modularity, extensibility, and long-term architecture.
• Highly analytical and outcome-driven; comfortable using qualitative customer insight and quantitative data to drive prioritization and roadmap decisions.
• Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional alignment across Engineering, Customer Experience, Sales, and executive leadership in a high-growth environment.
• Experience scaling product organizations and operating models in a Series A–C SaaS company.

Compensation \& Benefits

• Competitive salary and meaningful equity participation at a Series A inflection point
• Comprehensive paid benefits

WHY COMPYL

• Own the AI roadmap: Compyl is building an agentic AI layer on top of its compliance platform, moving from evidence collection to autonomous remediation. This hire owns that from day one.
• Category-defining market: GRC and automated compliance is one of the fastest-growing segments in enterprise software. The tailwinds are structural, not cyclical.
• Real product, real traction: Healthy customer growth, a platform built by practitioners who understand the buyer.
• Series A momentum: Backed by Venture Guides, Contour Venture Partners, and Armory Square Ventures, with the capital and conviction to scale aggressively.
• Direct access and visibility: Report to the CEO. Your strategy is seen, debated, and rewarded at the highest levels of the organization.
• Meaningful equity: Significant equity participation at a valuation inflection point.
• Autonomy, no bureaucracy: No micromanagement. Co-founders as partners, not gatekeepers. You are trusted as the expert.
